Here are the top three player battles to watch out for ahead of RCB vs DC in IPL 2024, Match 62:

3. Jake Fraser McGurk vs Mohammed Siraj

Harry Brook’s decision not to participate this year in the Indian Premier League has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for a young Australian batter. DC were able to recruit Jake Fraser McGurk as his replacement and the Australian has been piling up the runs for the side. His attacking intent as an opener has surely helped in getting the early momentum for the franchise while batting.

The Australian would be up against one of the best pacers of Team India that is Mohammed Siraj. The pacer would be hoping to send back the youngster early on and get the early momentum for his side. This battle can be significant in deciding who will be able to assert their dominance at the start. 

2. Will Jacks vs Kuldeep Yadav

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru decided to start Will Jacks after the poor form of Glenn Maxwell was letting the team down. It turned out to be a great decision as the English all-rounder has cemented his place in the starting XI. His power-hitting ability makes him one of the most feared batters from the franchise. 

His biggest test would be in the upcoming game when he faces Kuldeep Yadav. The spinner has been having a great season and has been the X-factor for the side. The Team India leg-spinner has been called upon to change the tide of the match and has gotten important breakthroughs for his side whenever needed. This contest between the DC's best bowler and RCB's fearless batter would surely be one to look out for.

1. Virat Kohli vs Khaleel Ahmed

The former Team India skipper, Virat Kohli seems to be in great touch as he is the only player this season to have notched up 600 runs. His form is critical to the team's chances of winning in this game and the franchise would be hoping for another great outing for the batter against the Delhi Capitals.

The former RCB skipper would be up against Khaleel Ahmed early on in the innings. The batter's struggles against left-arm pacers are surely known to everyone but Kohli is the kind of batter who looks to fight his fears rather than avoiding them. So this clash is surely one to look out for and it would be interesting to see which player would come out on top.
